The storyline felt a little bit choppy at times, but I think that kind of comes with the comic format. I would love to see this adapted into a television limited series.

This is literally about the main Marvel heroes but in the past.

It was well written due to it being Neil Gaimen who wrote it.

What a fun little novel. I wish they'd adapt this in the MCU, it would actually fit into the current Marvel storylines very well. But I guess the X-Men are the problem here.

Ultimately nothing more than a lark, but an enjoyable one at that.

Amazing concept from the mind of Mr Gaiman - as if the MCU had existed in Westeros

Written by Neil Gaiman with art by Andy Kubert? I didn't even care what it was about and I was already hooked. But the content doesn't hurt - many heroes of the Marvel galaxy show up in England, 1602. But why? It was fun seeing them all in another setting (and, for me, trying to figure out who they were). On top of that, the pacing is strong, the writing is sharp, and art was absolutely gorgeous.

An original idea for old characters. I've wanted to read this for ages and Im glad I finally did. Though there were a couple frames where I couldn't tell exactly what was happening
